Karnataka Milk Prices Hike: 50 ml Extra in Nandini Packets Starting June 26

The Karnataka Milk Federation has announced a milk price hike starting June 26, with an additional 50 ml per 500 ml and 1 litre packets. This increase comes after the government's sales tax hike on fuel. The 550 ml packet will cost Rs 24, and the 1,050 ml packet will cost Rs 44.

The Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) has announced a rise in milk prices from June 26, coupled with an increment of 50 ml in its half and one litre packets. This adjustment follows a state government decision that raised the sales tax on fuel, leading to increased petrol and diesel prices.

According to KMF, the current milk harvest season has resulted in increased milk storage across district milk unions, nearing one crore litres. This backdrop has prompted the federation to increase prices by Rs 2 per packet while offering an extra 50 ml of milk in each half-liter (500ML) and one-liter (1000ML) packet.

Consequently, the cost of a 500 ml toned milk packet of Nandini will rise to Rs 24 for a 550 ml packet, and a 1,050 ml packet will be priced at Rs 44. Other Nandini milk categories will also see price adjustments. Notably, KMF is the second largest dairy federation in India, procuring milk from over 27 lakh dairy farmers in Karnataka for over five decades under the Nandini brand.
